My pc is running very slow

Scan your computer by using a good Antivirus software and remove all the viruses. Also cleanup your computer drives by using 'cleanmgr' command. Delete all temporary files from temporary folder. These steps might help to increase your computer speed.

Block the Startups and Services

When your computer is started up, there might be a number of programs and services running in the background. Some of them would be update checkers, error reporters and the rest are necessary tools like your antivirus etc.

The idea is to disable running the start-ups and service that you no longer need.

1. Click Start ' Run.
2. Type MsConfig and press ENTER.
3. Disable the start-ups and services from the Startup and Services tabs respectively.
4. Click OK button and restart the machine.

My computer is slow to start up if the disks are too fragmented. Fragmentation refers to dividing a file into several parts which cause slow down in retrieving their contents.

The problem can be solved by defragmenting such fragmented disks using the Disk Defragmenter.

1. Click Start ' All Programs ' Accessories ' System Tools ' Disk Defragmenter.
2. Select all the drives.
3. Click Defragment disks button.

Defragment your Registry

Registry is the database in your operating system containing significant configurations and information. Registry fragmentation too cause my computer is slow to start up issue.

Defragmenting the registry is too simple. You have to download a third party Registry Defragmenter software and install it o your system.

Taking anything more than 1-2 minutes to load windows says either there is a processor, or the first 64KB memory bios problem or a operating system/ hard drive problem. To see if the bios is faulty look on the motherbord for the CLRCMOS CLRRTC, or JBAT terminal if its jbat1 put jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 then back again, if its others the pins need to be shorted by a jumper cap. restart pc and see if quicker, if not it may be the CPU and only fitting a new one can illiminate that. If its a windows problem, you will need to run a disk check first, click Start Run, then type chkdsk volume:/r, or for a system files check click start, run then type sfc /scannow then hit enter and follow instructions

Please would you like to be more specific. What is the size of your Hdd and the RAM? What about the processor?
